None right. what do you say?Poornahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10463439474100575867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-53359433399739673662009-03-13T09:18:00.000+08:002009-03-13T09:18:00.000+08:00Dear Lynda Akka,Thanks a lot for the comments...

It looks like a great marketing technique and the film(Rotten kashmir Apple) was sold out. There are so many examples of crap movies really making it big just coz it has big names..(Shivaji, SRK movies... big list) The only difference is this time this happens in an international level. And we really dont have much to be proud of except for ARR and Rasul Pookutty. And about being realistic.. ppl who had watched this movie, is it as realistic as Crash, Blood Diamond and kannathil muthamittal?ஆர்வ கோளாறு (இதுக்கு 'க்' போடணுமா?)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18045713998375480499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-71948198065619567632009-03-06T10:04:00.000+08:002009-03-06T10:04:00.000+08:00@ AnnieThanks for your comment...//n i m sorta won...@ Annie<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment...<BR/><BR/>//n i m sorta wondering y ur on my meloncoly blog?! noone evr comes there.. n thts a sort of closet personality for me.. y wud neone be interested in random rantings of a heartbroken fool..(i dun mind ur expert opinions though!! :)) whn theres a extremely interesting personality on the other hand!!!<BR/><BR/>for a dose of the eccentric me goto www.whitelilyz.blogspot.com<BR/>i think ull like tht better.. lots of stuff to argue abt in ther!! hehe. //<BR/><BR/>the only link i was allowed in was ya melancholy blog now its fine and i m sure your spy gmail had told u by now that i visited your blog and commented as well - damn i dont hve privacy these days :((Lancelothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586725214050434721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-71445903217121426382009-03-05T19:58:00.000+08:002009-03-05T19:58:00.000+08:00i wud love to argue.. *lolz. thts wht i do all the...i wud love to argue.. *lolz. thts wht i do all the tym.. wid frnds, tecahers, random strangers!!! hehe*... bt hw much as i hate to say this, theres nuthin much to argue abt.. :| ur making all the right points!! the only thing is dat i liked the movie, i loved the music...n after all the years of waitin for oscars... a movie actually did it!! :P<BR/><BR/>n i m sorta wondering y ur on my meloncoly blog?! noone evr comes there.. n thts a sort of closet personality for me.. y wud neone be interested in random rantings of a heartbroken fool..(i dun mind ur expert opinions though!! :)) whn theres a extremely interesting personality on the other hand!!! <BR/><BR/>for a dose of the eccentric me goto www.whitelilyz.blogspot.com<BR/>i think ull like tht better.. lots of stuff to argue abt in ther!! hehe. <BR/><BR/>cheers,<BR/>Annie.IceMaidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667516172075286778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-82090108122468974372009-03-05T13:49:00.000+08:002009-03-05T13:49:00.000+08:00@ RamyahThank u...Long time no see??

I watched the movie after it was nominated for Oscar, and after the movie i found myself in discussion with my friends whether it deserves the Oscar nomination. I would not say that movie sucks but certainly not in par with the other Oscar winners. It's all the hypes and the 'English' tag attached to it which did all teh wonders. As far as A.R.rahman is concerned i'm proud of him though he is far more talented that what Slumdog has shown.
